He was a r%eticent, moral, upright
man, with many friends and no
enemies. His remains were fol

Thursday afternoon, his brother

funeral.
Before the funeral, but after the

DEATH III Erz1 51zAET.
Nate Sutton the Victim.

Last Wednesday evening our
people we're appalled, on hearing
that Nate. Sutton had ceased TO be.
that his back HAD been broken, and
his presence would ne'er again be
present with us. The particulars
as near as we have been able to
CLEAN them, are as follows
Between 3 and 4o'cock on We'd
nesday, afternoon, Frank Lloyd,
boss of the workmen in the shaft,
Tom. Coyne, and Nate. Sutton
were at work at the bottom of the
North Ilomestake shaft, some 200
feet below the surface. A bucket
loaded with ore had been sent Sup.
and after it's passing a trap door,
made of 2 inch plank and well
braced, was set some 80 feet above
the bottom. Just as the bucket
reached the ground surface, or at
least when the bale of the bucket
appeared, the brace strap broke,
throwing the horse at the wind
lass on It's launches and the whip
pie trees loose. The bucket then
crashed down upon the trap door,
breaking it to flinders and all went
down 20 the bottom, striking poor
Nate, injuring the shoulder and
leg OF Coyne, and pinnlng Lloyd
to The wall, and eXtinguishing the
lights. When the debris was re-
moved from Sutton, he exclaimed,
take me ont OF this, my back is
hurt" and again remarked, "what
hit me!' He was elevated as
soon as possible, but when the
body reached the surface it was
lifeless.
The above facts were elected
through the witnesses examined
before the Coroners inquest on
Thursday afternoon, when the fol
lowing verdict was rendered /:
We the undersigned, Justice of
the Peace and jury, who sat before
the inquest ON 10th day Of No

The Times Criticisms on the Breach of
Privilege-Sentenceso of Nihilists Com
muted to Imprisonment for
Life-Fire in Hungary.

LONDON, May 6-George Price conser-
vative, resuming the debate in the House
of Commons this evening on a motion to
appoint committee to inquire into the
Times charges against Dillon suggested
amid the dersive Parnellites laughter that
aroyal commission be appointed to inquire
into all charges against the Parnellites.
Sir Henry James regretted that respon
sible speakers among the liberals had as
serted that the administration of justice
in England was so defective that it was
improbable that a fair trial could be OBJ
tanned on the issues involved in the con-
troversy. He defied Sir Charles Russell
to point ont a single case in support of
such statement.
MIR. Healey said every possible ques-
ton seemed worthy of inquiry by the
the character of the members. The Par
nelliteS did not care pinch of snuff
whether they got this inquiry or not, but
If the government majority refused an in
qury the names Of British gentlemen
would be placed on a level with that of
an Indian thug. The Parnellites chal-
lenged the tories to combat at once on the
question. From the decision of a major
ity of the House Parnellites wonld appeal
to the people outside and other nations.
The Times Congratul ates Parliament.
LONDON, May 6.-The Times says it re-
joices that Parliament was not ensnared
into establishing new and embarrassing
precedent by the appointment of a com
mittee to hear Dillon. The committee
would have been engaged in what the
lawyers call fishing inquiry. Its action
would not have bound the Parnelltes IN
any respect whatever and there would have
been left open to them, all the remedies
theynow shirk, but to which some might
resort if they had a chance of discovering
the weak points, if there are any in the
case against them. The strongest thing
we said againot Gladstone in the Ionian
case was that he was trucking to seduc-
ton. This was a political criticism on
him which might well be used even now.
We are not surprised that his lawyer did
not c)nsider that there was any reason
able ground for action.

The AURORA IN ALASKA.
Sometimes Visible in Winter Even When
the Noonday sun iS-Shining.


the Noonday Sun iS-Shining.
During the winter months the aurora
on the Yukon is very brilliant and in
tensely beautiful 1t commences early in
the fall, and lasts with more or less bril-.
liancy throughout the long Arctic winter.
1t generally commences upon the setting
of the sun, although in midwinter it has
at times been so bright that it was visible
at noon while the sun was shining brightly.
The rays of light first shoot forth with a
quick, quivering motion, are then
gathered and form a great arch of fire
spanning the heavens. 1t glows for an
instant like a girdle of FURNISHED gold,
then unfolding great curtains of light
drop forth These royal mantleS of bright
orange, green, pink, rose, yellow and
crimson arc suspended and waved between
heaven aud earth as with an invisible
hand. The rapid gyrations and scintilla-
tions of light and blending colors are in
tcnsely bewildering and superbly beauti-
full.
The whole phenomena of waving
wreaths, Pickering fumes, rays, curtains,
fringes, bands and flashing colors; the
strange confusion of light and motion,
now high in the heavens, then dropping
like curtains OF gold and silver lace spark
emeralds and diamonds, penetrating
dark guiches and darting through somber
green forests, lighting the whole land
scape as with thousand electric lamps,
forms picture of which words can con-
vey but q very poor idea. This unwarm-
ing light, as it flashes along the frozen
rivers, the great banks of snow, and re-
veals the huge mountains of glistening ice
and the black lines of fir, indeed is of the
purest arctic caste, and causes one to but
ton his coat closer over his chest and with
Shiver he is glad to seek n light of
far less brilliancy, but one of life giving
warmth.
At the breaking up Of winter the hours
of sunshine are rapidly increasing, and
continue so until midsummer, when the
sun beams forth twenty-five hours out OF
twenty -four, while on tho high mountain
peaks it is for q period of several days il
June not entirely out OF sight during The
twenty-four hours. During the months
of July and August the weather becomes
very warm, aud even hot, and miners are
glad to seek q shady retreat in which to
do their labor. After this period the
hours OF sunshine gradually decrease
until during the shortest days the sun
shines but four hours out of the twenty
four. But at this period the aurora is
most intense and helps veey materially in
driving darkness from tbs dreary land
